Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Daniel Powter is set to announce his return to the international music scene with his stunning new album ‘Turn On The Lights’ on 16th July.
Kicking off with lead single ‘Cupid’, also release on 16th July, it’s immediately obvious that Canadian born Powter is an artist reenergized. A hook-laden and optimistic view on love that floats along on a dreamy, strummy guitar, ‘Cupid’ looks set to be a mainstay on the mainstream radio as the summer months kick in.
Here is Daniel himself on the set of his video 'Cupid' talking about his inspiration for the song.
‘Turn On The Lights’ is an album bursting with heartfelt ballads, anthemic rockers, and lyrics that cover life, love and everything else in between. Produced by veteran hitmaker Howard Benson (Kelly Clarkson, Gavin DeGraw, All-American Rejects) at his Bay 7 Studios in Los Angeles, ‘Turn on the Lights’ catches Powter in a soulful uplifting mood.
‘The Day We Never Met’ examines a relationship in reverse, whereas on ‘Come Home’ Powter ponders the necessity of friendship during the hard times. Check out the official video for 'Cupid' below.
